All students and parents are invited to a presentation by Dr. Don Thomas, 11 a.m. - Noon on Tuesday, October 13 in the Underwood Theater. A former NASA astronaut and the current director of the Hackerman Academy of Mathematics and Science at Towson University in Baltimore, Dr. Thomas will share his space flight experiences and discuss risk-taking, leadership, and teamwork. He’ll be with the faculty and staff at their in-service earlier in the morning.
